The Playstation6?

Here is another interesting techincal tidbit to come off the wires (in case you haven't seen it yet).  Sony seems to be some inventing fools.Link

The technique could one day be used to create videogames in which you can smell, taste, and touch, or to help people who are blind or deaf.


What kind of API would you use to manipulate smell or taste?

The U.S. patent, granted to Sony researcher Thomas Dawson, describes a technique for aiming ultrasonic pulses at specific areas of the brain to induce "sensory experiences" such as smells, sounds and images.


The Matrix has you.  ;-)

It will be interesting to see what comes of this.

True, but stuff like this is what makes for great novels and I can't help it may eventually be a boon for blind and deaf people.

It's fun to imagine.
